2. Introduction
 A Phoenix-based logistics company specializing in
freight management services, GlobalTranz provides a
comprehensive selection of shipping solutions. In
particular, GlobalTranz routinely assists clients in need
of less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping services.
As its name suggests, LTL shipping involves
shipments that do not require a full trailer. LTL
shipments are often transported using van trailers with
an enclosed cargo space, which allows for more
flexibility regarding smaller shipments. In general,
carriers determine LTL shipping rates based on a
variety of factors, from the class and weight of the
shipment to the pickup and destination zip codes.

3. LTL Shipping
 Many LTL carriers factor in fuel surcharges,
which vary according to the lane of a shipment
and the national average price of diesel fuel.
Although LTL-specific carriers are somewhat
less common than full-service freight
companies, they fill an important niche for
shippers seeking to transport smaller
shipments. LTL carriers also offer specialty
services such as refrigeration and residential
pickups, adding another layer of flexibility.
